NRL players are growing impatient with the sport's governing bodies over stalled negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), as a former Canberra Raider is leading the charge to get a deal done.
When Parramatta-bound hooker Josh Hodgson took on his role on the Rugby League Players Association (RLPA) board of directors earlier this year, he was driven to deliver for his colleagues.
Hodgson has been frustrated, though.
"It's the biggest thing for us and we need to get aligned on it with codes like AFL and other sports," Hodgson told The Canberra Times.
